about the art

Wearable Art

To Hasti, jewellery is a form of wearable art — something to be felt, not just worn. Each piece is created to carry meaning, memory, and personal connection. Sustainability is also woven into her process, from considered material choices to timeless designs made to be cherished and kept. Her jewellery is made with care — to stay close to the body, and even closer to the soul.

  • Persian Elements

    Inspired by Persian poetry and the fluid lines of calligraphy, she blends symbolic elements with organic textures drawn from nature.

  • Contemporary Expression

    Her work lives at the intersection of cultural memory, minimalist sensibility, and contemporary expression.

  • Quiet Elegance

    Her approach to form is subtle and restrained — leaving space for emotion, interpretation, and quiet presence.
